Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to solve the problem of installing and fixing pipelines of different diameters, the present embodiment provides the following scheme, which specifically discloses: a detection water tank 1 is horizontally placed on the ground, a transparent observation window 2 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the detection water tank 1, two support columns 3 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the detection water tank 1, and a first support frame 4 arranged horizontally is installed between the left and right support columns 3, and a fixing ring 5 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the first support frame 4, an automobile pipeline body 6 that needs to be tested for air tightness is arranged inside the fixing ring 5, and a fixing bolt 7 for squeezing and fixing the automobile pipeline body 6 is threadedly installed on the side of the fixing ring 5, and a blower 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the first support frame 4, and the blower 8 is connected to the automobile pipeline body 6 through a gas pipeline 9 installed outside it.

[0031] When using the device, first seal the bottom end of the automobile pipeline body 6 that needs to be tested for air tightness (such as inserting plasticine or adding a sealing cover, etc.), then put it into the fixing ring 5, and then screw the fixing bolt 7 to move the front end of the fixing bolt 7 toward the inside of the fixing ring 5, and finally clamp and fix the automobile pipeline body 6. After the fixing is completed, connect the front end of the gas pipeline 9 to the upper end of the automobile pipeline body 6.

[0032] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to solve the problem of detecting the air tightness of the pipeline, the present embodiment provides the following solution, which specifically discloses: a lifting mechanism for driving the fixing ring 5 to move up and down is installed inside the support column 3, and the lifting mechanism includes a guide slide bar 11 and a transmission screw 10 respectively installed inside the left and right support columns 3, and the transmission screw 10 is rotatably connected to the support column 3, and a first slider 12 is installed through the outside of the guide slide bar 11 and the transmission screw 10, and the transmission screw 10 is threadedly connected to the first slider 12, and the first slider 12 is fixedly connected to the first support frame 4.

[0033] After the automobile pipeline main body 6 is fixed, the motor at the upper end of the support column 3 is turned on, so that the motor drives the transmission screw 10 to rotate. At this time, the first slider 12 installed with a thread passing through the outside of the transmission screw 10 drives the first support frame 4 to move downward (the first slider 12 at the other end slides correspondingly outside the guide slide bar 11), so that the first support frame 4 puts the automobile pipeline main body 6 into the detection water tank 1 (the detection water tank 1 is pre-injected with an appropriate amount of clean water) under the action of the fixing ring 5, and then turns on the blower 8, which delivers air to the inside of the automobile pipeline main body 6 through the air pipeline 9.

[0035] When the automobile pipeline body 6 enters the detection water tank 1, the transmission screw 10 drives the driving gear 20 coaxially fixedly installed at its bottom end to rotate. At this time, the driven gear 19 meshing with the driving gear 20 drives the rotating ring 14 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 15 inside the rotating ring 14 is used to clean the outer surface of the automobile pipeline body 6. During the rotation of the rotating ring 14, the second slider 17 at the front end of the second support frame 16 slides accordingly inside the limiting slide groove 18.
